UMVA has learned that Tyler Robinson’s alleged lover, Lance Twiggs, has received limited “use immunity” to testify in person at the upcoming preliminary hearing in the high‑stakes murder case involving Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
In a bold move that could shape the courtroom drama, prosecutors have secured Twiggs’ cooperation in exchange for a sworn recorded statement that could crack open the case.
The statement, according to information obtained by UMVA, alleges that Robinson confessed to the fatal shooting, concealed the Mauser 98 .30‑06 rifle, discarded the clothing worn at the crime scene, and warned Twiggs against speaking with law enforcement.
Prosecutors plan to present Twiggs’ recorded testimony, alongside a torrent of text messages exchanged between the two, during the July preliminary hearing, setting the stage for a fierce cross‑examination.
Robinson, who shot Kirk on September 10, 2025 at a Utah Valley University event, faces a litany of charges including aggravated murder, reckless discharge of a firearm, multiple counts of obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and a violent offense in the presence of a child.
Utah prosecutors are now demanding the death penalty, a grim escalation that underscores the gravity of the alleged crime.
In a chilling revelation, a newly unsealed affidavit uncovered a handwritten letter from Robinson to Twiggs, in which he confesses, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I took it.”
Investigators also recovered DNA and a palm print on the roof of the Losee Center building, adding physical evidence to the mounting case against Robinson.
Further forensic analysis linked a bullet fragment found in Kirk’s body to the .30‑caliber rifle used by Robinson, tightening the web of proof surrounding the tragedy.
UMVA has uncovered these details through exclusive investigations, offering the public a front‑row seat to a case that continues to unfold with every new piece of evidence.
